Fun Fact:

This picture was actually taken in the DCU Writer's room 😁

I noticed too

abduleez1:
I know one DC guy that would suffer a meltdown and be shitting tears.

they should have done this ages ago, I have always maintained that Zack should have been somewhat part of the new DCU team, not necessary that he gets to tell his own stories, but mainly for optics... Because like it or not, Snyder fans are a quite Vocal part of the DC fandom (I blame WB execs for this) and having them consistently shit on everything Gunn does is not good for a brand that's just Starting out... Making the DC fandom somewhat united is the best way to go

abduleez1:


James Gunn already addressed CLAYFACE and THE BATMAN II being close....he said CLAYFACE was in the DCU and doesn't really matter.

On Matt Reeves saying he's close to finishing up, still doesn't mean he's done with the work. No one is planning shooting and editing on "I'm almost done with it".
Robert Pattinson is in high demand and has other projects too. So if script is taking too long it disrupts previous plans on shoot time. Also take note the 2026 release was set over a year ago hoping pre-production would be wrapped up in time.
The Batman II was originally set to release in 2025 in case you all have forgotten. Then it was pushed to 2026 and still Matt Reeves continues to disappoint.

The star, Pattinson is set to play a huge role in Chris Nolan's THE ODYSSEY which starts shooting early 2025. So there's no way he makes it in time for The Batman II to get shooting, editing, VFX and sound and marketing ready before October 2, 2026. Batman II is planning for a late 2025 shoot which will most likely spill into 2026, so that October release doesn't look feasible.

Well I just hope that they stick to the date this time around, and I hope that Gunn will allow Matt do his thing and not merge Battinson into the DCU, we need a separate Batman for DCU

abduleez1:
Release shakeup at WB.

Matt Reeves slow pace in turning up a script has essentially removed The Batman II from 2026 release.

I doubt that the script isn't ready, especially with the fact that the statement in itself is ambiguous and would most likely mean that James Gunn doesn't approve of the script yet, because Matt Reeves said this a few days ago, so it not grounds for shifting the movie by over a year

And also no way they are allowing two Batman related movies release weeks apart, with clayface being the priority because it's in the DCU

SOZINN:



You've captured the essence of the situation. Zack Snyder isn't even on my list of favorite directors. While I've both praised and criticized some of his works, the current discourse on comic accuracy and this whole "ideal Superman" rubbish is excessively one-sided. Since 2010, a majority of directors have taken liberties with comic book characters, reshaping them to suit the stories they wish to tell. Even directors renowned for crafting exceptional comic book adaptations have been found guilty of this practice at some point.

For me a prime illustration of this is "The Dark Knight Rises". We all know the rendition of Bane in that film is not the one from the comics. However, integrating a comic-accurate Bane into that particular plotline would have posed its own challenges. Christopher Nolan excelled in delivering a compelling story in that movie, that's why Bane's comic inaccuracy is not the predominant talking point wherever that movie is discussed.

Soon James Gunn will begin to reinterpret characters and their origin stories within the DC Universe, it's something that's surely inevitable. Gunn executed this strategy effectively in the MCU, with Adam Warlock serving as the biggest let down in my opinion. While envisioning a comic-accurate Adam Warlock within the MCU, particularly in *Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3*, raises questions, I find solace in the fact that the film exemplifies a stellar comic book movie. Therefore, the criticisms leveled against Snyder regarding comic accuracy appear unfounded in the broader context of comic book adaptations.

took the words right out of my mouth

IbrahimMav:
Zack Snyder is a hack who got lucky with 'Dawn of the Dead' and has been riding on that high since. Thank the stars WB fired him when they did for he would have done an irreparably damage to the Superman lore. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Snyder fans are a curious bunch. I often wonder what they see in that hack that warrants such hardcore loyalty?

It's actually the way people criticize him with so much bias and prejudice that makes me him because I look at the criticisms and then look at his work, and I realize that he doesn't deserve this much bile.

Regardless, I hope James Gunn succeeds with the DCU because above all I want coherent DC stories that will be told without interference of WB executives

BlackManta:
I'm still wondering why James Gunn started the DCU with Creature Commandos

Don't get me wrong. I like the show.
It's not great or spectacular but it's entertaining.

But James Gunn could have just started with Superman and released CC after that

What's so special about Creature Commandos that you had to begin a new DCU with it

The MCU started with Iron Man
DCEU started with Man of Steel

DCU is starting with Creature Commandos while a Superman movie is scheduled to release in less than 7 months

Why?

I think Gunn already wrote Creature Commandos before he was handed the reigns to DC, and if you observe carefully you would realize that it's a direct sequel to Peacemaker Season 1, meanwhile he was still working on his Superman script and probably wasn't sure it would be green lit due to the state of DCEU then.

He probably had to adjust his Superman script after being appointed DC head and Creature Commandos being a direct sequel to Peacemaker Season 1 moved straight to production since the script was already done

Arcane season 2 feels like Pantheon season 2 all over again, pacing is criminal, these dudes crammed at least 2 to 3 seasons worth of plot, character development and world building into one.

I understand Pantheon had to do it because they were cancelled and had to conclude the story, but seeing that Arcane was far from being cancelled, why pace season two like that?

Spot on, I love this casting

abduleez1:


Omo, praise God.

Oya, make Chris Pine just accept. Then we roll with Aaron Pierre for John Stewart. 😎

Thank GOD

Josh brolin as Hal Jordan is not good to me at all, same with that booster gold casting news, James Gunn should fix up abeg these two casting are not it
There's much better roles that Josh brolin would fit in the DCU, I can't even imagine his voice as Hal GOD Abeg, let him reject the role pls

Mr Robot S1-S4 7/10
The Leftovers S1-S3 7/10
Although I wasn't satisfied with both of their endings the ride was nice and intriguing

Need more series recommendations

jikins:
Interview with the Vampire Season 2 is ultra peak. Hands down the best piece of fiction I have seen all year. It completely improves on what was a solid Season 1 in every way. This is what great writing, immaculate dialogue, and breathtaking acting look like. Just a total masterclass!

I Wonder in Anne Rice's Mayfair witches is just as good, since they are from the same author, have you seen it?

I don't care what anyone thinks a 300 prequel series would bang

Bongadu:




Mouse .KDrama


Devs


A shop for killers . Kdrama

might check out devs, not really interested In kdrama though

Illusioneffect:

Definitely Mr Robot

Thanks for the recommendation, I am enjoying Mr Robot

How long does the battery lasts

Can someone recommend series like Dark Matter and severance please

Dune - 7/10 had to rewatch because I had forgotten most of what happened
Dune part two - 7/10 nice movie

TBH, I'm actually glad that James Gunn is setting up Superman legacy in a world where heroes already exist, because in the comics it's already canon that the justice society of America comes before the justice league.

Rebel Moon 1 - A Child of Fire : 5/10
Rebel Moon 2 - The Scargiver : 5.5/10

Zack Snyder missed with this one
I understood the plot, but I wasn't invested in the story one bit.
He needs to go back to the drawing board, and work with good writers and also reduce the slo-mo (they can get annoying sometimes)

abduleez1:


Snyder is known to say so many okoto just for engagements especially in this past few years post his DCEU era.
I won't be surprised one bit if all this is just publicity and stirring up controversy to generate engagement for his low tier Star Wars clone.

Fans like yourself will keep on defending any shït man puts out. I don't really dislike him as he's a director of a couple of my favourite projects, yet his fandom and his recent weaponizing of such fandom is a huge distaste from me.

You jumped into conclusions and called the man a dunce for no good reason.

Snyder isn't perfect, no one is, so what makes you think that I would defend everything he puts out, there are a few creative decisions he made in the DCEU that do not sit right with me but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy his work.

There are bad eggs in every fandom and hasty generalizations like this don't do justice to the peculiar nature of the fandom

I don't see how he weaponizes his fandom as you claim.

abduleez1:
Na now I know say this man na dunce and Shalaye Pro Max propagator. 🙄🙄😤😡

did you watch the actual video because that's not exactly how he put it, these people are quoting him out of context to bait people like you to keep on justifying your dislike for him

I think so to,
Disney CEO indirectly its that they have been making bad movies

Superhero movie fatigue doesn't exist, bad movie fatigue does, it just a coincidence that most recent CBM have been poor around the time some started people are speculating about CBM fatigue

It doesn't exist

Too much or just right?

Too much or just right?

asids55:


No please..just American..thanks for the response

have you watched 12 monkeys tv series

Baddestguyp:


One Piece?
The situation is actually more complex than that...
I've seen the anime...
More will be expanded on in later seasons...

Especially about Garp, Luffy, his family, the world government, etc


I can't tell you anything without spoilers

I guess I'll have to wait to find it if it's really as you said, because there's no way I am watching over 1000+ episodes of the anime just to get context

I'm a high ranking general in an army, I discover that my grandson has a dream and ambition to become the king of thieves so I track him down and give him the beating of his life to make sure he really knows what he's doing, post ass whooping I realize that he is unrelenting in his resolve, I then tell him that I only wanted to confirm that he knows what he is doing and that he should carry on but the next time I catch am , I go lock am up.

Thoughts

LORD Knows I'm rooting for this movie

I was skeptical about this movie being a success, but Abduleez was so confident in it that made me feel nothing could stop the movie from being a success, fast-forward to today people are still trying to figure out what exactly went wrong.

The Flash Flopped, 😥 the Scarlet speedster couldn't outrun the box office bomb
